	11:54am listener james from westwood: Peeking in before the noontime frenzy commences! Welcome welcome, UM!
	12:00pm Alex In Illinois: There was a sneek almost start there.
	12:01pm Alex In Illinois: Here we go.
	12:01pm ndbob: afternoon UM and everyone!
	12:02pm Mary Wing: Welcome to Uncle Michael's second marathon show! Please make a pledge at wfmu.org/pledge and remember to select Hinky Dinky time and click the "+" to credit your pledge to his show!
	12:04pm Doug Schulkind: Hi. I should be on the guest list. I have a + one.
	12:04pm Jeff Golick: Wassup. @UM, you do sound much closer.
	12:05pm Webhamster Henry: Welcome to the Garden State, Uncle Michael!
	12:05pm Alex In Illinois: @Lane: Where in Illinois? Illinois is a tall state bordering Wisconsin on the North and Kentucky on the south.
	12:06pm Uncle Michael: GARY! JAMES! ALEX! BOB! MARY! DOUG! HENRY!
	12:06pm Stanley: @Doug, did your get cut short or did I nod off for a few moments?
	12:06pm Stanley: @Doug, did your show get cut short or did I nod off for a few moments?
	12:07pm βrian: If it's Alice, I'll need to listen from the cork-lined "sound room" down in the basement. I may even flip on the black light...
	12:08pm Mary Wing: Everything sounds better in black light, yep. But only one lucky person will have this 15-CD Alice Cooper box set!
	12:08pm chromaphone: Wait a second, neither of these DJs sound like Uncle Michael...
	12:09pm βrian: And being from Wisconsin, we think of Illinois as "down there."
	12:10pm Doug Schulkind: Uncle Michael and Mary, you are both hot! (And both mics are too hot.)
	12:10pm βrian: My goodness, Uncle Michael's voice is so different today!
	12:13pm Mary Wing: He's talking with his "east coast edge" voice, heh.
	12:14pm Stanley: You're right, mary. he's gone all sophistcated urbanite on us.
	12:14pm Lane Gray: Alex, I'm in Nashville, heading west on 64. I'll be in Kansas by 3 PM
	12:17pm mauri: hey there UM and M
	12:21pm Mary Wing: Dead heads unite! $20 gets you a 3CD/2 bluray discs
	🛒 12:24pm Brian in UK: I can remember the first time I heard Uncle Johns Band. Fair turned my head. Garcia's playing steel sounded quite unorthodox.
	12:30pm Parq: Stop saying "PIN Number"! The "N" stands for number! You are saying "Personal Identification Number Number".
	12:30pm listener james from westwood: I love that Uncle Michael plays music from many, many decades, but man, he has a way of picking tracks from the seventies that so make me wish I was an adult during that decade and able to hunt down and hear this music live. Hinky Dinky Time gives me a chance to have that wonderful musical seventies I didn't grow up with and likely couldn't have afforded on my allowance!
	12:32pm doctorjazz: Hey Hinky Dinky folks (missed the Dead...damn work!) NOBODY ELSE plays the Dead!
	12:33pm Dean: The Alice Cooper box set ought to be a prize available only to billion dollar donors.
	12:33pm Doug Schulkind: @Parq Are you an "RBIs" guy or an "RBI" guy?
	12:35pm Dean: Attorney Generals or Attorneys General? La Brea Tar Pits or The La Brea Tar Pits?
	12:35pm Parq: Doug, let's just say that "ATM machine" is another one of my berserk buttons.
	12:35pm Mary Wing: And ATM machine is redundant too...
	12:36pm listener james from westwood: @Doug: Oooh, that's a good one. In about 2 weeks, I'll see a copy editor who works for ESPN who may have an answer for that.
	12:36pm Dean: World Wide Web or Double-u-double-u-double-u?
	12:37pm Parq: Dean, imagine if everyone went around saying "WWW Web".
	12:37pm Mary Wing: The comic genius of Ernie Kovacs is the next prize up for a $20 pledge at wfmu.org!
	12:38pm Doug Schulkind: I submit that RBI has become a word unto itself. (It even has a nickname "Ribbie") and thus a hitter can accumulate any number of RBIs plural.
	12:38pm Doug Schulkind: But back to the ATM machine: Bust one open and PLEDGE!
	12:38pm Jeff: I always use the loot-soot rhyme.
	12:38pm Dean: Or world-wide WWW.
	12:39pm Dean: Speaks, thpeaks, or thpeakth?
	12:40pm Lane Gray: RBI is already plural, but RBIs doesn't grate on me like ATM Machine (surely that's a machine that makes ATMs?) or PIN number.
	12:40pm Doug Schulkind: @Jeff I'd like to see Ted Leonard's avatar.
	12:41pm Jeff Golick: Where are we all on the Latin-derived plurals: data is/are? media is/are?
	12:42pm Parq: People make the same mistake with the title "Attorney General". They don't realize that "General" is an adjective, so they say "Attorney Generals" and not "Attorneys General". Remember when the Repubs decided this gave them the opportunity to aggrandize themselves and started referring to Bush's AG as "General Ashcroft"? The Dems actually fell for it and started referring to Clinton's pick as "General Reno". For a brief, horrible moment, it looked like that atrocity would actually catch on.
	12:43pm listener james from westwood: Lane, I feel RBIs" is one of those things that usage has sanded down to acceptability or tolerability. Ted Leonard!!! Jeff: It varies from publisher to publisher and style guide to style guide. Best to be consistent within the MS once you get a directive. The tower of plural "data" in English usage is under siege, though.
	12:44pm listener james from westwood: I am actually tracking use of singular/plural "data" in the current MS to see which way the author leans. Publisher has no preference and the author's previous book is inconsistent. One more datum for the checklist. ;)
	12:44pm Jeff: I'll drown my sorrows in a few gins and tonic.
	12:45pm Mary Wing: This is such an awesome cover of Nights on Broadway!
	12:45pm Dean: I am a hardcore Latin-derived plural proponent: data are, media are. No compromise. This is the only sense in which I'm hardcore.
	🛒 12:46pm Brian in UK: Is the plural of crocus, crocuses or crocii?
	12:46pm ndbob: Indeed James:)
	12:46pm joe: Hey UM is in house so you can call in your pledges and let them know on the phone and they will run it down to him and Mary. 800-989-9368
	12:46pm Dean: The plural of Prius is, "Fuck all of you Prius drivers."
	12:47pm Stanley: A croc of crocii
	12:47pm drr: regarding "www web", It's always puzzled me why radio and communications have such a liking for the letter "double-u". It's the slowest letter to say. It's actually two letters.
	12:47pm Dean: You can blame Sir Tim Berners-Lee. Evil incarnate that guy.
	12:48pm βrian: What about "none is" versus "none are?"
	12:48pm Dean: Just realized I'm in a shitty mood this a.m.
	🛒 12:50pm Brian in UK: Dean would you like an humbug.
	12:50pm Dean: Used to insist upon "none is," as in "not one is," but then I read a good argument for "none are" to the effect that it plausibly means "not any." So I'm chill.
	12:50pm Jeff Golick: @βrian: that "none is/are" is a doozy.
	12:51pm Parq: Dean @ 12:46 - Rat own.
	12:52pm Dean: Touché, Brian in UK. Are there other Brians in UK?
	12:52pm βrian: In any case, I refuse to conjugate single nouns as plural, collective or not.
	12:53pm Dean: Parq, no kidding, right?
	12:53pm Stevel: Doubling up on the Coop! So many favorite shows on WFMU/GTD. Pretty sure I tagged UM in my Swag for Life pledge (should have tagged Mary W, but its possible that I suck.)
	12:54pm Parq: And then there's this new thing of using a plural pronoun as a gender-neutral singular pronoun, as in "The person who called in the last pledge said that Hinky Dinky Time is their favorite show". I catch myself using that one. It's just so seductively convenient.
	12:55pm βrian: My autocorrect insists the Prius is Priapus. Works for me, I guess.
	12:56pm Doug Schulkind: Alice's "Schools Out" was one of my earliest music obsessions. Listened to it over and over and over and over.
	12:56pm Stanley: @Parq - sure, it's a lot easier than saying 'his or her'. But I worry that it is incorrect.
	12:57pm Dean: At least the person who called in the last pledge didn't say that Hinky Dinky Time is they're favorite show.
	12:58pm Doug Schulkind: I'm shooting for no less than 26/7!
	12:58pm βrian: @Parq: Where my wife teaches, a pro-forma part of a person's public introduction specifies their chosen pronouns. (That is, pronouns one should use when referring to them.)
	🛒 12:59pm Brian in UK: @Dean I am sure there are numerous Brains. Unfortunately they are not pledging.
	🛒 1:00pm Brian in UK: Stanley did you hear Bill on Stan's show this AM?
	1:01pm still b/p: Quite a 70s/NY-in-decline montage (Son of Sam in there four times) accompanies Long Way To Go on the YouTubes.
	1:02pm Parq: βrian, yeah, my daughter the librarian has told me about that one. When I think about how berserk it's going to drive conservatives, I like it a lot more.
	1:02pm Stanley: @Brain - naah. Didn't know he was on. Stan's show is not so much fun without a message board.
	🛒 1:02pm Brian in UK: Must be frank and say it is none of the subjects above that get up my snout more than the ubiquitous !!!!! after comments.
	1:03pm listener james from westwood: Parq, based on what copy editors are seeing, as reported at recent conferences, usage of the singular "they" is growing, as, slowly, is acceptance of it. The need it fills is expanding, too. What βrian notes is part of that, as is convenience and flow.
	1:03pm listener james from westwood: Last comment; rephrase to "as _are_ convenience and flow." Multitasking; feh.
	1:04pm βrian: @Parq: Librarian? Does she refer to you as meta-daddy?
	1:04pm Lane Gray: Is that Don Worden? Do you have the liner notes?
	1:04pm Stanley: ooops, what i meant say is no playlist. i saw the board was rocking with the usual peeps (sans moi of course)
	🛒 1:04pm Brian in UK: Long live libraries.
	1:04pm βrian: Linked MetaDaddy is an especially big thing, these days.
	1:05pm Parq: Oh βrian, please, don't give her ideas.
	1:05pm Stanley: @Brian - yup, I'm going to have watch myself on that.
	🛒 1:06pm Brian in UK: Stanley, the Canterbury WoodElf lists Stan's music after or during the show.
	🛒 1:06pm KevinfromBayRidge: Yup!
	1:07pm Doug Schulkind: To pledge for Uncle Michael, DO NOT just go to "wfmu.org" or your pledge will be credited to the show now on WFMU proper. Use the PLEDGE NOW button on atop this page, enter a $$ amount, then click the + button ("Click to Add Show")
	🛒 1:08pm Brian in UK: Not aimed at you old bean.
	1:08pm Stanley: That's very public spirited of old Canterbury Elf.
	1:08pm Dean: Tip of the hat to βrian for associating metadata with librarians.
	1:11pm βrian: "RDF" is pillow-talk where I come from. "MODS" is a way of life.
	1:11pm Dean: As here, βrian.
	1:15pm βrian: UM is scandalizing us, what with everything he's putting on his plinth.
	1:18pm Mary Wing: The plinth is getting heavy with prizes: Porter Wagoner, Sparks, and Alice Cooper as the grand prize.
	1:20pm Dean: Heh, heh, pun: vinyl revolution. Giving away anything by the Artist Formerly Known as Plinth?
	1:22pm joe: Ok this is pretty damn cool,
	1:23pm doctorjazz: This is cool, missed the announcement, middle eastern sound, cool!
	1:24pm Lane Gray: And, it scans to the tune we'd usually hear about now. Am I right, Brian?
	1:24pm doctorjazz: Now I see it...great sounding prize...
	1:24pm Listener Robert: So, Parq, why don't they speak English & say "General Attorney", "General Inspector", "Martial Court", & so on? This ain't French!
	1:26pm Dean: Nous sommes tous procureurs générals!
	🛒 1:26pm Brian in UK: @Lane I am doubling up listening to England playing cricket. Very exciting but most would not appreciate it.
	1:27pm Listener Robert: Anyway, this year I think someobody's too busy to give anywhere close to a real-time read on the $ & % "thermometers" on the front page. It said 62% or 63% late last night, then Nachum brought down about $200k this AM, seems it should add up to more.
	1:28pm Lane Gray: Porter and Norma Jean!
	1:30pm Dean: Donald and Melania! (If we're talking coiffures, I mean.)
	1:31pm Webhamster Henry: I used to tell my kids, playing with a well - known toddler toy, "Put that torus on the pylon on the plinth!"
	1:31pm Mary Wing: Get Uncle Michael's hand-crafted premium CD "Bed Music For Sleepy Listeners" with a pledge of $75--don't be sleepy now, click on the banner at the top of the playlist.
	1:32pm joe: OH DEAR GOD so much body oil and a flute yikes.
	1:34pm βrian: I once waited on James Galway ...
	1:35pm Andrew Waterloo: Wow another Andrew in Waterloo.
	1:35pm Dean: Yeah, Galway's execution of rubato is rather exaggerated.
	1:36pm Stanley: Great, that's me pledged and now off to the pub. UM - many thanks for such great shows. Shlater fokes. (plugs in earphones, trips over cat and he's out of the door)
	1:36pm joe: Stanly if you lucky enough and are not a fan let me know I'll be happy to supply my address and postage ;)
	1:36pm Andrew: Yep, another Andrew in Waterloo! Every time your name was mentioned during the marathon, my wife thought it was me.
	1:37pm Dean: Thus, we have multiple Andrew in Waterloos listening in. Andrews in Waterloo?
	1:38pm Mary Wing: Yes, how cool that two Andrews in Waterloo share a love of WFMU.
	1:39pm Doug Schulkind: @Listener Robert I'm sure there is an army of volunteers at WFMU right now typing pledge cards from Nachum's show this morning in to the database. It takes time to process it all.
	1:40pm Doug Schulkind: Colin is in Austria.
	1:40pm Goyim in the AM: It IS Austria. And Colin is me!
	1:41pm Webhamster Henry: Servuuuus!
	1:42pm Goyim in the AM: Servus oida!
	1:43pm Andrew Waterloo: The first prize is always a bit exciting
	1:45pm Listener Robert: Thanks for the explanation, Doug. So it goes from the phone & Web pledges onto cards, and then Andy B.'s Korean Boy does the math? Or do the Web figures get added separately from the phone room figures?
	1:45pm doctorjazz: Nels Cline is great, go for this one! (great Wilco show last month...at least, when they finished playing the new album).
	1:47pm Andrew Waterloo: Nels Cline solo is a bit different from Nels Cline Wilco.
	1:47pm βrian: "There's two of them." Now that makes me cranky.
	1:48pm Listener Robert: Or is it something like the way the election returns used to be done from the old machines in NY, where when the polls closed the inspectors did an unofficial tally, and then later there was an official one? BTW, am I bothering people about the mechanics of this? The mechanics of EVERYTHING at WFMU (and many other places) interest me.
	1:49pm Andrew Waterloo: There's enough experimental music happening in Waterloo to support several Andrews.
	1:49pm doctorjazz: Absolutely, he has a role to play in Wilco, doesn't sound like this (but, he still sounds REAL GOOD).
	1:49pm Dean: "...mechanics...interest..." A plural inflection, but a singular noun, like economics. Bravo.
	1:51pm Lane Gray: Brian with the German double S, look at the people who expect the Seldom Scene to sound like the Velvet Underground, with Lou Reid on vox
	1:51pm joe: YAY!!!!!!!
	1:51pm Andrew Waterloo: As the joke goes. Please send me a mongoose, and while you're at it send another.
	1:51pm Dean: Er, a plural inflection, hence a verb conjugated plural, even though like "economics" it's treated as a singular. OED says either, albeit less so as plural.
	1:54pm doctorjazz: Time to go back to Middle School, brush up on my grammar.
	1:54pm Doug Schulkind: @Listener Robert All the pledges that come in over the telephone are hand-written on cards. Someone then has to type the info into the database. Nachum's show on the last Friday of the marathon (his last day of marathoning) generates many hundreds of such pledge cards. It takes many hours to get them entered into the system.
	1:57pm Listener Robert: Tnx again, Doug. So can I take it that the Web pledges are totaled automatically?
	1:57pm Doug Schulkind: During their last visit to Pittsburgh, Yo La Tengo dedicated their encore to Give the Drummer Radio!!
	1:59pm Doug Schulkind: @Listener Robert Yep. Web pledges go right into the system. Unless there is a problem (such as a pledge to one show winning a prize to another show). Then it gets flagged and pulled out for "fixing."
	2:01pm joe: @Robert I can speak to the fact that a lot of JM's pledges tend to come in by phone. I've seen it they keep that group of phone workers on their toes. :)
	2:01pm listener james from westwood: Could it be safely said that that YLT album would not exist without WFMU? I reckon it could.
	2:03pm Listener Robert: Actually I gather from the description that indeed it MUST work something like the old election canvas, with their unofficial & official tallies. There must be an unofficial one to report on the show, and then later there's an official one. With the canvas sheets it was carbon-like copies; I'm guessing you use the same pledge cards but they're collected twice -- once for a sum for anmt on the show, then again to add into the total. And some of the pledge cards must get handled another time, when there's a drawing for a show's prize. So theoretically you COULD "find money under the couch cushion" if a card gets lost in the shuffle.
	2:07pm KWilde: I just pledged to this show and my receipt said my pledge was credited to Bryce
	2:09pm Listener Robert: I mean, it's not actual $, just an acc'ting of it. But election returns are another matter with the relatively new machines in NY. When they were instituted (I was an inspector at the time), I'd assumed the printout at the polls was just the UNofficial tally, and that the OFFICIAL tally would be made at the office from the flash memory that was collected separately from the machines. Since then I learned that official tally was based off the printouts made that night at the polls, which is a bit scary.
	2:09pm joe: This is more the psychotic friends hotline
	2:10pm Doug Schulkind: To be sure that your pledge is credited to Hinky Dinky Time, you must: (1) Pledge by clicking the PLEDGE NOW button on this page. (2) Enter a $$ amount (3) Make sure "Hinky Dinky Time" is selected in the program drop-down menu. (4) Click the + (plus) button where it says CLICK TO ADD SHOW. [Button looks like this: blogfiles.wfmu.org... Here is a handy graphic explaining the process: blogfiles.wfmu.org... ========= All pledges of $75 or more automatically receive UNCLE MICHAEL'S BED MUSIC FOR SLEEPY LISTENERS! Check it out: blogfiles.wfmu.org...
	2:11pm Listener Robert: Joe, "that group of phone workers"? Does the JM stream have its own phone room somewhere?
	2:13pm Doug Schulkind: @Listener Robert It is the same phone room, but a different crew of phone answerers. Each show has a new or mostly new crew of volunteers in to answer the phones.
	2:13pm Listener Robert: Wait a minute, that can't be, because Nachum gives out the same phone #. So you must mean "that shift of the volunteers".
	2:14pm Parq: Haven't stopped listening, just had to get busy. Go, go, go, UM&M!
	2:14pm Mary Wing: Pledges have come to a standstill--don't let Uncle Micheal down in the last hour of his show, people! Three prizes are in the running for pledges of $20 and the grand prize can be yours for a $50 pledge.
	2:14pm Listener Robert: D'oh! We crossed the streams on our comments. Thanks anyway, Doug.
	2:16pm Doug Schulkind: HINKY DINKY TIME IS LESS THAN $300 AWAY FROM REACHING THE GOAL!!!!
	🛒 2:16pm Brian in UK: You are all a bunch of sheepses.
	2:19pm Webhamster Henry: You are all perfect deers! <tm Lacey Spellcheck Davenport>
	2:24pm Doug Schulkind: $124 away!
	2:24pm listener james from westwood: Guess who finally had one of his clients pay him?!
	2:25pm Doug Schulkind: @Listener James Merrick Garland?
	2:26pm Parq: Meet us at the bar at 6:15: James is buying.
	2:27pm doctorjazz: I'm in! Steaks as well!
	2:27pm Doug Schulkind: And no, Red Buckets was NOT my nickname in high school.
	2:28pm listener james from westwood: Doug: LOL, I wish; tapping into the editorial needs of the vast judiciary writing volume would be sweet, but my Blue Book style knowledge is antiquated. Parq: Some of this payment is for my deficit-pledging last week, but I consider it a stimulus project to spur future growth. We'll drink whatever's left.
	🛒 2:28pm Brian in UK: Send me a photograph of a double Jim Beam. Thanks.
	2:28pm Mary Wing: What was your nickname in high school, Doug?
	2:29pm Doug Schulkind: Burnt Amber Buckets.
	2:30pm βrian: Ooh, dat's nice.
	2:30pm Doug Schulkind: $99 away!
	2:30pm Doug Schulkind: We are the 93%!
	2:31pm Andrew Waterloo: let's do it!
	2:33pm βrian: How much do those records weigh, I wonder?
	2:33pm Doug Schulkind: $79 away!
	2:34pm Mike East: yer gettin some of my cash, Uncle Michael, but I don't have time to do all the business right now. Just thought I'd drop a line to say you rock!
	2:35pm Doug Schulkind: $79 dollars more and all of Friday on the Drummer Stream will have reached to goal!!
	2:36pm Mike East: you too, Doug, btw.
	2:37pm Doug Schulkind: To be sure that your pledge is credited to Hinky Dinky Time, you must: (1) Pledge by clicking the PLEDGE NOW button on this page. (2) Enter a $$ amount (3) Make sure "Hinky Dinky Time" is selected in the program drop-down menu. (4) Click the + (plus) button where it says CLICK TO ADD SHOW. [Button looks like this: blogfiles.wfmu.org... Here is a handy graphic explaining the process: blogfiles.wfmu.org...
	2:37pm Mary Wing: Brian, I worry about the floor in the record library, actually. I think it should be reinforced so that one day it doesn't fall into Monty Hall downstairs.
	2:37pm Doug Schulkind: Radio hugs and kisses to you, Mike East!
	2:38pm βrian: It's better to reinforce sooner rather than later ...
	2:39pm βrian: Yes, we ARE the rooty-poots!
	2:40pm Doug Schulkind: $64 away from the goal!
	2:40pm βrian: He is the Turin table!
	🛒 2:40pm Brian in UK: Great show Mary and Michael.
	2:43pm Doug Schulkind: This song is on an LP that Yusef autographed for me. It says, "To Bro Doug, in peace. Bro Yusef A. Lateef." One could say I have a rather positive association with this song.
	2:44pm Parq: Gotta go chase some paper. You'll probably make goal while I'm away. Congrats in advance.
	🛒 2:44pm KevinfromBayRidge: Like the song, you're the greatest, Doug!
	2:45pm Andrew Waterloo: wow. I'm just loving this Lateef.
	2:45pm Doug Schulkind: Oh crap, don't let Parq jinx it! PLEDGE! Only $64 left to go!!!
	2:47pm βrian: Creepy Van? Oy, not for me!
	2:47pm Doug Schulkind: $44 away!
	2:48pm listener james from westwood: 96% is good for an OK Cupid match, but if WFMU and Uncle Michael are YOUR perfect match, get them up to 100%!
	2:48pm Doug Schulkind: Three measly percent left. PLEDGE OUR TROUBLES AWAY!
	🛒 2:49pm KevinfromBayRidge: Great MotherShip show , Unc & Mary!
	2:49pm βrian: The massage parlor analogy would have the pledge total as 3% short of a happy ending.
	2:49pm Doug Schulkind: Someone pledge to get Uncle Michael's premium and PUT THIS PUPPY TO BED! Make sure to click the + button!!!!!!!
	2:50pm doctorjazz: I blew it, pledged some more, got an error on the payment page and it didn't credit to the show, ADD IT IN!
	2:52pm Doug Schulkind: Someone step in and pick up your neighbor doctorjazz. Pledge $44 and the PARTY STARTS!
	2:52pm βrian: DeWitt is near Lansing.

	2:53pm Mary Wing: Somebody needs to pull a Hail Mary here, why not YOU?
	2:54pm Doug Schulkind: Hail Mary Wing!
	2:55pm doctorjazz: Added $30 to my previous ($20), but didn't get it right, possible to still get it to the show? Really Big Shoe today, btw!
	2:56pm listener james from westwood: YES!!! I was secretly jonesing for that one. Many thanks!!
	🛒 2:56pm Brian in UK: Well done, james. Top geezer.
	2:56pm Doug Schulkind: Uncle Michael, you can go into overtime if necessary. There is no shootout, however.
	2:58pm listener james from westwood: I'm counting this as a 100% show based on some of the technology-eaten pledges, whatever happens, but I wanna see that pledge-ometer go on tilt for real!
	2:58pm doctorjazz: No guilty pleasures...Maybe it's the best thing...
	2:58pm V Priceless: thanks, UM! Great Brooklyn Bridge tune - RIP Johnny Maestro - what a voice!
	2:58pm ndbob: excellent pledge show UM!
	2:59pm Doug Schulkind: COME ON COME ON COME ON AND MAKE IT HAPPEN!
	3:00pm Doug Schulkind: One more pledge of $44 to go!!!!!
	3:01pm listener james from westwood: Wonderful show, UM and Mary! Thanks, all!!
	3:01pm joe: which Andrew in waterloo LOL
	3:01pm Listener Robert: I'm LOL over "set of coast...er, CDs."
	3:01pm Doug Schulkind: Keep it going, UM!!!!
	3:02pm doctorjazz: Should be closer, oh well...
	3:02pm βrian: Félicitations, mon Oncle de Topeka !

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from March 18, 2016

View Uncle Michael's profile

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

	11:54am listener james from westwood: Peeking in before the noontime frenzy commences! Welcome welcome, UM!
	12:00pm Alex In Illinois: There was a sneek almost start there.
	12:01pm Alex In Illinois: Here we go.
	12:01pm ndbob: afternoon UM and everyone!
	12:02pm Mary Wing: Welcome to Uncle Michael's second marathon show! Please make a pledge at wfmu.org/pledge and remember to select Hinky Dinky time and click the "+" to credit your pledge to his show!
	12:04pm Doug Schulkind: Hi. I should be on the guest list. I have a + one.
	12:04pm Jeff Golick: Wassup. @UM, you do sound much closer.
	12:05pm Webhamster Henry: Welcome to the Garden State, Uncle Michael!
	12:05pm Alex In Illinois: @Lane: Where in Illinois? Illinois is a tall state bordering Wisconsin on the North and Kentucky on the south.
	12:06pm Uncle Michael: GARY! JAMES! ALEX! BOB! MARY! DOUG! HENRY!
	12:06pm Stanley: @Doug, did your get cut short or did I nod off for a few moments?
	12:06pm Stanley: @Doug, did your show get cut short or did I nod off for a few moments?
	12:07pm βrian: If it's Alice, I'll need to listen from the cork-lined "sound room" down in the basement. I may even flip on the black light...
	12:08pm Mary Wing: Everything sounds better in black light, yep. But only one lucky person will have this 15-CD Alice Cooper box set!
	12:08pm chromaphone: Wait a second, neither of these DJs sound like Uncle Michael...
	12:09pm βrian: And being from Wisconsin, we think of Illinois as "down there."
	12:10pm Doug Schulkind: Uncle Michael and Mary, you are both hot! (And both mics are too hot.)
	12:10pm βrian: My goodness, Uncle Michael's voice is so different today!
	12:13pm Mary Wing: He's talking with his "east coast edge" voice, heh.
	12:14pm Stanley: You're right, mary. he's gone all sophistcated urbanite on us.
	12:14pm Lane Gray: Alex, I'm in Nashville, heading west on 64. I'll be in Kansas by 3 PM
	12:17pm mauri: hey there UM and M
	12:21pm Mary Wing: Dead heads unite! $20 gets you a 3CD/2 bluray discs
	🛒 12:24pm Brian in UK: I can remember the first time I heard Uncle Johns Band. Fair turned my head. Garcia's playing steel sounded quite unorthodox.
	12:30pm Parq: Stop saying "PIN Number"! The "N" stands for number! You are saying "Personal Identification Number Number".
	12:30pm listener james from westwood: I love that Uncle Michael plays music from many, many decades, but man, he has a way of picking tracks from the seventies that so make me wish I was an adult during that decade and able to hunt down and hear this music live. Hinky Dinky Time gives me a chance to have that wonderful musical seventies I didn't grow up with and likely couldn't have afforded on my allowance!
	12:32pm doctorjazz: Hey Hinky Dinky folks (missed the Dead...damn work!) NOBODY ELSE plays the Dead!
	12:33pm Dean: The Alice Cooper box set ought to be a prize available only to billion dollar donors.
	12:33pm Doug Schulkind: @Parq Are you an "RBIs" guy or an "RBI" guy?
	12:35pm Dean: Attorney Generals or Attorneys General? La Brea Tar Pits or The La Brea Tar Pits?
	12:35pm Parq: Doug, let's just say that "ATM machine" is another one of my berserk buttons.
	12:35pm Mary Wing: And ATM machine is redundant too...
	12:36pm listener james from westwood: @Doug: Oooh, that's a good one. In about 2 weeks, I'll see a copy editor who works for ESPN who may have an answer for that.
	12:36pm Dean: World Wide Web or Double-u-double-u-double-u?
	12:37pm Parq: Dean, imagine if everyone went around saying "WWW Web".
	12:37pm Mary Wing: The comic genius of Ernie Kovacs is the next prize up for a $20 pledge at wfmu.org!
	12:38pm Doug Schulkind: I submit that RBI has become a word unto itself. (It even has a nickname "Ribbie") and thus a hitter can accumulate any number of RBIs plural.
	12:38pm Doug Schulkind: But back to the ATM machine: Bust one open and PLEDGE!
	12:38pm Jeff: I always use the loot-soot rhyme.
	12:38pm Dean: Or world-wide WWW.
	12:39pm Dean: Speaks, thpeaks, or thpeakth?
	12:40pm Lane Gray: RBI is already plural, but RBIs doesn't grate on me like ATM Machine (surely that's a machine that makes ATMs?) or PIN number.
	12:40pm Doug Schulkind: @Jeff I'd like to see Ted Leonard's avatar.
	12:41pm Jeff Golick: Where are we all on the Latin-derived plurals: data is/are? media is/are?
	12:42pm Parq: People make the same mistake with the title "Attorney General". They don't realize that "General" is an adjective, so they say "Attorney Generals" and not "Attorneys General". Remember when the Repubs decided this gave them the opportunity to aggrandize themselves and started referring to Bush's AG as "General Ashcroft"? The Dems actually fell for it and started referring to Clinton's pick as "General Reno". For a brief, horrible moment, it looked like that atrocity would actually catch on.
	12:43pm listener james from westwood: Lane, I feel RBIs" is one of those things that usage has sanded down to acceptability or tolerability. Ted Leonard!!! Jeff: It varies from publisher to publisher and style guide to style guide. Best to be consistent within the MS once you get a directive. The tower of plural "data" in English usage is under siege, though.
	12:44pm listener james from westwood: I am actually tracking use of singular/plural "data" in the current MS to see which way the author leans. Publisher has no preference and the author's previous book is inconsistent. One more datum for the checklist. ;)
	12:44pm Jeff: I'll drown my sorrows in a few gins and tonic.
	12:45pm Mary Wing: This is such an awesome cover of Nights on Broadway!
	12:45pm Dean: I am a hardcore Latin-derived plural proponent: data are, media are. No compromise. This is the only sense in which I'm hardcore.
	🛒 12:46pm Brian in UK: Is the plural of crocus, crocuses or crocii?
	12:46pm ndbob: Indeed James:)
	12:46pm joe: Hey UM is in house so you can call in your pledges and let them know on the phone and they will run it down to him and Mary. 800-989-9368
	12:46pm Dean: The plural of Prius is, "Fuck all of you Prius drivers."
	12:47pm Stanley: A croc of crocii
	12:47pm drr: regarding "www web", It's always puzzled me why radio and communications have such a liking for the letter "double-u". It's the slowest letter to say. It's actually two letters.
	12:47pm Dean: You can blame Sir Tim Berners-Lee. Evil incarnate that guy.
	12:48pm βrian: What about "none is" versus "none are?"
	12:48pm Dean: Just realized I'm in a shitty mood this a.m.
	🛒 12:50pm Brian in UK: Dean would you like an humbug.
	12:50pm Dean: Used to insist upon "none is," as in "not one is," but then I read a good argument for "none are" to the effect that it plausibly means "not any." So I'm chill.
	12:50pm Jeff Golick: @βrian: that "none is/are" is a doozy.
	12:51pm Parq: Dean @ 12:46 - Rat own.
	12:52pm Dean: Touché, Brian in UK. Are there other Brians in UK?
	12:52pm βrian: In any case, I refuse to conjugate single nouns as plural, collective or not.
	12:53pm Dean: Parq, no kidding, right?
	12:53pm Stevel: Doubling up on the Coop! So many favorite shows on WFMU/GTD. Pretty sure I tagged UM in my Swag for Life pledge (should have tagged Mary W, but its possible that I suck.)
	12:54pm Parq: And then there's this new thing of using a plural pronoun as a gender-neutral singular pronoun, as in "The person who called in the last pledge said that Hinky Dinky Time is their favorite show". I catch myself using that one. It's just so seductively convenient.
	12:55pm βrian: My autocorrect insists the Prius is Priapus. Works for me, I guess.
	12:56pm Doug Schulkind: Alice's "Schools Out" was one of my earliest music obsessions. Listened to it over and over and over and over.
	12:56pm Stanley: @Parq - sure, it's a lot easier than saying 'his or her'. But I worry that it is incorrect.
	12:57pm Dean: At least the person who called in the last pledge didn't say that Hinky Dinky Time is they're favorite show.
	12:58pm Doug Schulkind: I'm shooting for no less than 26/7!
	12:58pm βrian: @Parq: Where my wife teaches, a pro-forma part of a person's public introduction specifies their chosen pronouns. (That is, pronouns one should use when referring to them.)
	🛒 12:59pm Brian in UK: @Dean I am sure there are numerous Brains. Unfortunately they are not pledging.
	🛒 1:00pm Brian in UK: Stanley did you hear Bill on Stan's show this AM?
	1:01pm still b/p: Quite a 70s/NY-in-decline montage (Son of Sam in there four times) accompanies Long Way To Go on the YouTubes.
	1:02pm Parq: βrian, yeah, my daughter the librarian has told me about that one. When I think about how berserk it's going to drive conservatives, I like it a lot more.
	1:02pm Stanley: @Brain - naah. Didn't know he was on. Stan's show is not so much fun without a message board.
	🛒 1:02pm Brian in UK: Must be frank and say it is none of the subjects above that get up my snout more than the ubiquitous !!!!! after comments.
	1:03pm listener james from westwood: Parq, based on what copy editors are seeing, as reported at recent conferences, usage of the singular "they" is growing, as, slowly, is acceptance of it. The need it fills is expanding, too. What βrian notes is part of that, as is convenience and flow.
	1:03pm listener james from westwood: Last comment; rephrase to "as _are_ convenience and flow." Multitasking; feh.
	1:04pm βrian: @Parq: Librarian? Does she refer to you as meta-daddy?
	1:04pm Lane Gray: Is that Don Worden? Do you have the liner notes?
	1:04pm Stanley: ooops, what i meant say is no playlist. i saw the board was rocking with the usual peeps (sans moi of course)
	🛒 1:04pm Brian in UK: Long live libraries.
	1:04pm βrian: Linked MetaDaddy is an especially big thing, these days.
	1:05pm Parq: Oh βrian, please, don't give her ideas.
	1:05pm Stanley: @Brian - yup, I'm going to have watch myself on that.
	🛒 1:06pm Brian in UK: Stanley, the Canterbury WoodElf lists Stan's music after or during the show.
	🛒 1:06pm KevinfromBayRidge: Yup!
	1:07pm Doug Schulkind: To pledge for Uncle Michael, DO NOT just go to "wfmu.org" or your pledge will be credited to the show now on WFMU proper. Use the PLEDGE NOW button on atop this page, enter a $$ amount, then click the + button ("Click to Add Show")
	🛒 1:08pm Brian in UK: Not aimed at you old bean.
	1:08pm Stanley: That's very public spirited of old Canterbury Elf.
	1:08pm Dean: Tip of the hat to βrian for associating metadata with librarians.
	1:11pm βrian: "RDF" is pillow-talk where I come from. "MODS" is a way of life.
	1:11pm Dean: As here, βrian.
	1:15pm βrian: UM is scandalizing us, what with everything he's putting on his plinth.
	1:18pm Mary Wing: The plinth is getting heavy with prizes: Porter Wagoner, Sparks, and Alice Cooper as the grand prize.
	1:20pm Dean: Heh, heh, pun: vinyl revolution. Giving away anything by the Artist Formerly Known as Plinth?
	1:22pm joe: Ok this is pretty damn cool,
	1:23pm doctorjazz: This is cool, missed the announcement, middle eastern sound, cool!
	1:24pm Lane Gray: And, it scans to the tune we'd usually hear about now. Am I right, Brian?
	1:24pm doctorjazz: Now I see it...great sounding prize...
	1:24pm Listener Robert: So, Parq, why don't they speak English & say "General Attorney", "General Inspector", "Martial Court", & so on? This ain't French!
	1:26pm Dean: Nous sommes tous procureurs générals!
	🛒 1:26pm Brian in UK: @Lane I am doubling up listening to England playing cricket. Very exciting but most would not appreciate it.
	1:27pm Listener Robert: Anyway, this year I think someobody's too busy to give anywhere close to a real-time read on the $ & % "thermometers" on the front page. It said 62% or 63% late last night, then Nachum brought down about $200k this AM, seems it should add up to more.
	1:28pm Lane Gray: Porter and Norma Jean!
	1:30pm Dean: Donald and Melania! (If we're talking coiffures, I mean.)
	1:31pm Webhamster Henry: I used to tell my kids, playing with a well - known toddler toy, "Put that torus on the pylon on the plinth!"
	1:31pm Mary Wing: Get Uncle Michael's hand-crafted premium CD "Bed Music For Sleepy Listeners" with a pledge of $75--don't be sleepy now, click on the banner at the top of the playlist.
	1:32pm joe: OH DEAR GOD so much body oil and a flute yikes.
	1:34pm βrian: I once waited on James Galway ...
	1:35pm Andrew Waterloo: Wow another Andrew in Waterloo.
	1:35pm Dean: Yeah, Galway's execution of rubato is rather exaggerated.
	1:36pm Stanley: Great, that's me pledged and now off to the pub. UM - many thanks for such great shows. Shlater fokes. (plugs in earphones, trips over cat and he's out of the door)
	1:36pm joe: Stanly if you lucky enough and are not a fan let me know I'll be happy to supply my address and postage ;)
	1:36pm Andrew: Yep, another Andrew in Waterloo! Every time your name was mentioned during the marathon, my wife thought it was me.
	1:37pm Dean: Thus, we have multiple Andrew in Waterloos listening in. Andrews in Waterloo?
	1:38pm Mary Wing: Yes, how cool that two Andrews in Waterloo share a love of WFMU.
	1:39pm Doug Schulkind: @Listener Robert I'm sure there is an army of volunteers at WFMU right now typing pledge cards from Nachum's show this morning in to the database. It takes time to process it all.
	1:40pm Doug Schulkind: Colin is in Austria.
	1:40pm Goyim in the AM: It IS Austria. And Colin is me!
	1:41pm Webhamster Henry: Servuuuus!
	1:42pm Goyim in the AM: Servus oida!
	1:43pm Andrew Waterloo: The first prize is always a bit exciting
	1:45pm Listener Robert: Thanks for the explanation, Doug. So it goes from the phone & Web pledges onto cards, and then Andy B.'s Korean Boy does the math? Or do the Web figures get added separately from the phone room figures?
	1:45pm doctorjazz: Nels Cline is great, go for this one! (great Wilco show last month...at least, when they finished playing the new album).
	1:47pm Andrew Waterloo: Nels Cline solo is a bit different from Nels Cline Wilco.
	1:47pm βrian: "There's two of them." Now that makes me cranky.
	1:48pm Listener Robert: Or is it something like the way the election returns used to be done from the old machines in NY, where when the polls closed the inspectors did an unofficial tally, and then later there was an official one? BTW, am I bothering people about the mechanics of this? The mechanics of EVERYTHING at WFMU (and many other places) interest me.
	1:49pm Andrew Waterloo: There's enough experimental music happening in Waterloo to support several Andrews.
	1:49pm doctorjazz: Absolutely, he has a role to play in Wilco, doesn't sound like this (but, he still sounds REAL GOOD).
	1:49pm Dean: "...mechanics...interest..." A plural inflection, but a singular noun, like economics. Bravo.
	1:51pm Lane Gray: Brian with the German double S, look at the people who expect the Seldom Scene to sound like the Velvet Underground, with Lou Reid on vox
	1:51pm joe: YAY!!!!!!!
	1:51pm Andrew Waterloo: As the joke goes. Please send me a mongoose, and while you're at it send another.
	1:51pm Dean: Er, a plural inflection, hence a verb conjugated plural, even though like "economics" it's treated as a singular. OED says either, albeit less so as plural.
	1:54pm doctorjazz: Time to go back to Middle School, brush up on my grammar.
	1:54pm Doug Schulkind: @Listener Robert All the pledges that come in over the telephone are hand-written on cards. Someone then has to type the info into the database. Nachum's show on the last Friday of the marathon (his last day of marathoning) generates many hundreds of such pledge cards. It takes many hours to get them entered into the system.
	1:57pm Listener Robert: Tnx again, Doug. So can I take it that the Web pledges are totaled automatically?
	1:57pm Doug Schulkind: During their last visit to Pittsburgh, Yo La Tengo dedicated their encore to Give the Drummer Radio!!
	1:59pm Doug Schulkind: @Listener Robert Yep. Web pledges go right into the system. Unless there is a problem (such as a pledge to one show winning a prize to another show). Then it gets flagged and pulled out for "fixing."
	2:01pm joe: @Robert I can speak to the fact that a lot of JM's pledges tend to come in by phone. I've seen it they keep that group of phone workers on their toes. :)
	2:01pm listener james from westwood: Could it be safely said that that YLT album would not exist without WFMU? I reckon it could.
	2:03pm Listener Robert: Actually I gather from the description that indeed it MUST work something like the old election canvas, with their unofficial & official tallies. There must be an unofficial one to report on the show, and then later there's an official one. With the canvas sheets it was carbon-like copies; I'm guessing you use the same pledge cards but they're collected twice -- once for a sum for anmt on the show, then again to add into the total. And some of the pledge cards must get handled another time, when there's a drawing for a show's prize. So theoretically you COULD "find money under the couch cushion" if a card gets lost in the shuffle.
	2:07pm KWilde: I just pledged to this show and my receipt said my pledge was credited to Bryce
	2:09pm Listener Robert: I mean, it's not actual $, just an acc'ting of it. But election returns are another matter with the relatively new machines in NY. When they were instituted (I was an inspector at the time), I'd assumed the printout at the polls was just the UNofficial tally, and that the OFFICIAL tally would be made at the office from the flash memory that was collected separately from the machines. Since then I learned that official tally was based off the printouts made that night at the polls, which is a bit scary.
	2:09pm joe: This is more the psychotic friends hotline
	2:10pm Doug Schulkind: To be sure that your pledge is credited to Hinky Dinky Time, you must: (1) Pledge by clicking the PLEDGE NOW button on this page. (2) Enter a $$ amount (3) Make sure "Hinky Dinky Time" is selected in the program drop-down menu. (4) Click the + (plus) button where it says CLICK TO ADD SHOW. [Button looks like this: blogfiles.wfmu.org... Here is a handy graphic explaining the process: blogfiles.wfmu.org... ========= All pledges of $75 or more automatically receive UNCLE MICHAEL'S BED MUSIC FOR SLEEPY LISTENERS! Check it out: blogfiles.wfmu.org...
	2:11pm Listener Robert: Joe, "that group of phone workers"? Does the JM stream have its own phone room somewhere?
	2:13pm Doug Schulkind: @Listener Robert It is the same phone room, but a different crew of phone answerers. Each show has a new or mostly new crew of volunteers in to answer the phones.
	2:13pm Listener Robert: Wait a minute, that can't be, because Nachum gives out the same phone #. So you must mean "that shift of the volunteers".
	2:14pm Parq: Haven't stopped listening, just had to get busy. Go, go, go, UM&M!
	2:14pm Mary Wing: Pledges have come to a standstill--don't let Uncle Micheal down in the last hour of his show, people! Three prizes are in the running for pledges of $20 and the grand prize can be yours for a $50 pledge.
	2:14pm Listener Robert: D'oh! We crossed the streams on our comments. Thanks anyway, Doug.
	2:16pm Doug Schulkind: HINKY DINKY TIME IS LESS THAN $300 AWAY FROM REACHING THE GOAL!!!!
	🛒 2:16pm Brian in UK: You are all a bunch of sheepses.
	2:19pm Webhamster Henry: You are all perfect deers! <tm Lacey Spellcheck Davenport>
	2:24pm Doug Schulkind: $124 away!
	2:24pm listener james from westwood: Guess who finally had one of his clients pay him?!
	2:25pm Doug Schulkind: @Listener James Merrick Garland?
	2:26pm Parq: Meet us at the bar at 6:15: James is buying.
	2:27pm doctorjazz: I'm in! Steaks as well!
	2:27pm Doug Schulkind: And no, Red Buckets was NOT my nickname in high school.
	2:28pm listener james from westwood: Doug: LOL, I wish; tapping into the editorial needs of the vast judiciary writing volume would be sweet, but my Blue Book style knowledge is antiquated. Parq: Some of this payment is for my deficit-pledging last week, but I consider it a stimulus project to spur future growth. We'll drink whatever's left.
	🛒 2:28pm Brian in UK: Send me a photograph of a double Jim Beam. Thanks.
	2:28pm Mary Wing: What was your nickname in high school, Doug?
	2:29pm Doug Schulkind: Burnt Amber Buckets.
	2:30pm βrian: Ooh, dat's nice.
	2:30pm Doug Schulkind: $99 away!
	2:30pm Doug Schulkind: We are the 93%!
	2:31pm Andrew Waterloo: let's do it!
	2:33pm βrian: How much do those records weigh, I wonder?
